Works will take place between Monday 7 January and Monday 11 February.

During the works, buses will replace trams from Stop 55 (corner of Boldrewood Pde and Plenty Rd) to the Bundoora end of the line between 2 am on February 2 and last tram on February 3.

Buses will also replace trams from Stop 67 (Bundoora Square Shopping Centre) to the Bundoora end of the line between 5 am on February 4 and last tram February 10.

There will also be some road disruptions with lane closures along Plenty Rd and right-turning lane closures in McKimmies Rd turning into Plenty Rd. Delays are expected and drivers are encouraged to plan ahead and consider alternative routes.

“These works will provide improved safety and accessibility for thousands of RMIT students and staff who use this stop as an important interchange to the university campus.” Member for Bundoora Colin Brooks said.

VicRoads will be closely monitoring traffic in the area and can adjust traffic light signals in real-time to keep congestion to a minimum.

Works will last until Sunday 10 February with trams resuming normal services from the first tram on Monday 11 February. All works have been planned around outside the university semester to minimise disruption to students.
